Mr Peacock!

About 2 years ago I was at Jelles; mum had given me this awesome book of woven fabric pictures.  In it was a peacock!  I had in my mind that I wanted to do one of these so I got all the right fabric from Red Polk-a-Dot in Alice Springs when I was there with mum & dad a month or two before.  After one trial and muck up we figured out the circle that made the main part of the Peacock was going to be HUGE not the 30cm one I had started with!!!! 

I havn't had the patience to make another one yet but maybe soon!




Presents! Happy 18th & Happy 21st!

The Zippy folder and pencil case were for Breanna for her 18th birthday!!  The zippy folder is just bigger than A4 so it can be used for books or note pads.





I made the red & white polka dot for Tiffa - this is another pencil case type pattern that you can adjust in size to your liking.  The polka dot fabric is actually plastic so Tiff could use as a dilly bag too.

Sewing with Mum....

We also made this chook table runner after seeing it made up - the panels are very life like and  with beautiful colours!



Sewing with Mum

While mum was here we did get a few sewing projects done!  I started the port for Lacey at Jelles.
